Life Lessons in December 2010

It has been a long period from November 25th until today.. exactly 14 days if I'm not wrong :)

Lessons that I've learnt so far:

#1: Empty vessels make a lot of noise when they are leaving the dock. They are really hollow on the inside

#2: Vengeance really belongs to the Lord. In the cause of the storms that have come, I really didn't need to do anything except be honest and commit everything to God, in the end, He revealed and is vindicating me.

#3: Loving despite disappointments is a long and hard lesson for everyone. It means me loving you even though I'm disappointed in you. Real love demands that, anything short of it is a lie.

#4: I have learnt to recognise comrades in the face of real circumstances and challenges cropping up. I salute you for not abandoning ship. After all, if Jesus is in the boat, why worry right?

#5: I have learnt that being a leader is not easy. I am glad criticism brought out the person that God has always destined them to be, and I am proud of all of you.

#6: Being the forgiver and forgiven is much more blessed to be the accuser and the accused. because it's Grace vs Works and we all know who won that battle on Calvary in the name of Grace :)

#7: In all circumstances, just surrender it to God. Taking matters into your own hands, makes it kinda sticky and unpleasant.

#8: Working up the guts to face issues in the right and honest way is essential. People don't just remember you for the end result, the process involved is equally important. That's how respect is earned - from what you got in the end and HOW you got to the end in the first place : )

#9: I know who are my true friends and whom are my enemies. You can recognise them straight on by how much they strive to protect you instead of revealing your weak side to the enemy.

#10: To be imperfect and be content that God's grace is at work when I can't do it any more.
